Vintage, touched by modern perfection

Stealing the show, wherever it shows up, this ever so perfectly enhanced 1974 two-door Range Rover Classic is a head-turner by any standards. Featuring the iconic vertical grille and finished in Ardennes metallic green with black accents, the car is powered by a 3.5L V8 coupled with a 5-speed manual gearbox (and of course, high/lo transfer case). This Range Rover Classic has also received a select set of tasteful and selective additions to give it just that perfect look, including LED headlamps, Pioneer Bluetooth-enabled stereo, and air conditioning.

To give it just a little bit more of a look, the suspension has been raised, and a skid plate has been mounted in the front (protecting the steering linkage). Instead of the usual steel finish, the car features glossy black painted Rostyle wheels with BFG All/Terrain tires.

The interior has been completely redone in a classic Range Rover Palomino color palette, with beige seats and carpets. The carpets are finished with a green edge trim to match the paint green of the car, tying together form and function beautifully.

A street fighter

While a true Range Rover Classic, it came to Legacy Overland as nit of a street dog. But you know what they say? Mutts are the strongest. The frame is a Suffix B model (1973), the body from a 1983 donor car, the engine a 1983-85 model, the 5-speed from late 1980s — and it has a 1974 registration. The vehicle is truly a best of breed and one-of-a-kind!

This is the vehicle for the driver that wants a stunning, classic looker. The vehicle was built and restored to be driven. Street dogs don’t do well fenced in inside garages…
